Summary:
Kalyani Malik is one who has always given memorable melodies and catchy tunes, though the recognition he has got seems very less compared to the talent he exhibits. Even this album has good songs all over, and is sure to impress people who wish to listen to lyrics without getting drowned in heavily pounding music; lyrics are enjoyable too. Appreciable renditions with nearly impeccable pronunciations also depict the care the music director takes in recording his albums. On the whole, the album leaves the audience with a positive feel, and makes them go for repeated hearing, and the feel lingers on for long.

1. chelii, vinamani chepaali manasulO talapuni... (Duration: 4:06 minutes) (Rating: 4.25/5)
Playback: Hemachandra is commendable in bringing the energy to this rendition. His diction is good, and his voice carries the mood of the song appreciably.
Lyric: The colloquial lyrical style of the veteran is again spiced with appreciable alliteration and wordplay, bringing forth the feelings of the male lead who realizes his love for the heroine. Especially notable are the first two lines of second stanza (first charaNam) - what can be better words to the confusion of a lover? The words are quite very simple yet bring out the exact feelings of someone that realizes one's love.
Tune/Interlude/BGM: The tune is not so catchy in the lead stanza ( pallavi), but as the subsequent stanzas play, they catch up very fast and create the urge to listen over and over. Soon, you could find yourself humming this song over and over. The beat makes the song racy, but the interludes leave you wanting more, though they do kind of linger on.

2. EdO anukunTE inkEdO jarigindE ... (Duration: 3:40 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Playback: Tollywood now has another Malayali girl - after Mamta Mohandass - who doesn't just act but also croons for herself. Actress-singer Nithya Menon has a voice that suits the mood of the song. Deepu is good and expressive.
Lyric: Lakshmi Bhoopal bares the little issues that crop up in love, which make the lovers think love and marriage are all big hassles that they wish they could avoid. Lines like aaraDagula peLLi goyyiki EDaDugula tondarenduku? are notable digs at marriage, continuing funnily Suicide nEramoddu manaki... indicating the state of mind of lovers facing such issues. There are little quirks such as nuvvokkaDE puTTaavuraa... (instead of nuvvokkaDivE...)
Tune/Interlude/BGM: The tune is instantly impressive. The BGM has the right feel to it and the interludes keep the audience still glued. Orchestra is an appreciable ensemble too.

3. innaaLLU naa kaLLu... (Duration: 4:08 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Playback: Geetha Madhuri is very good in rendering this melody, except that her high-pitched voice could have been less constrained. Kalyani Malik is decent.
Lyric: Anantha Sriram comes up with a fitting lyric for a situation where both the lovers curse themselves sweetly for wasting a lot of time [as friends] together without realizing each one's love for the other.
Tune/Interlude/BGM: The interludes are beautiful. While the tune is sweet, the higher-octave composition doesn't seem to carry the feel of the theme of the song very well. However, it has all the right elements to stay on the charts.

4. O baby, O baby!... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.0/5)
Playback: The rendition could have been better, and more energetic. Nevertheless, it feels right for the kind of the background music that goes with it. The male voice, which is not credited, only joins to call out O baby!
Lyric: This is a lightweight inspiring song that advises not to take life too heavily and take a fresh approach towards life, leaving the past. The West-influenced song has liberal, fitting use of English too.
Tune/Interlude/BGM: The only westernized number is catchy in parts; the orchestra stands up to the westernized tune and enriches the song throughout.

5. ammammO ammO, ammaayi anTE... (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Playback: Kalyani Malik's rendition with a tender voice suits the song very nicely. One minor mispronunciation seems to have slipped out: when he sounds more like viccha instead of vidya. ( tya or dya pronounced as ccha is a very common phenomenon in colloquial usage.) Nithya Menon doesn't sound as is suitable, but is still good.
Lyric: For this standard boys vs. girls lyric, Anantha Sriram brings in some good expressions such as andamtO allE vala, kanneeTi baaNam, etc.
Tune/Interlude/BGM: The lead music makes the audience sit up and wait for a nice melody, and that's what the song is. The tune haunts, and the interludes ensure the feeling continues, even long after the song is over.
